COOLING FAN" .
2. CHECK COOLING FAN MIDDLE SPEED OPERATION
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine and let it idle.
2. Select “COOLING FAN” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode with CON- SULT-II, and touch “MID” on the CONSULT-II screen.
3. Make sure that cooling fan operates.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> Check cooling fan middle speed control circuit. (Go to EC-1221, "
PROCEDURE A" .)
3. CHECK COOLING FAN HIGH SPEED OPERATION
With CONSULT-II
1. Select “COOLING FAN” in “ACTIVE TEST” mode with CON- SULT-II and touch “HI” on the CONSULT-II screen.
2. Make sure that cooling fan operates at higher speed than middle speed.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 6.
